Order Flowers

Ordering flowers from our site ensures that your order will reach us or the family in a timely manner, and your gesture of support will remain acknowledged in the Book of Memories for future generations.

Order Tribute Gifts

We respect the sensitivity and dignity that comes with ordering tribute gifts from the funeral home. It is for this reason that we have attempted to design our online Sympathy Store with the utmost respect to the family and the deceased. We hope you find this service helpful during your time of need and would welcome any comments or suggestions you might have to help us serve our communities better.

Obituary for Pamela J. Chase-Mitchell (Chase)

Pamela was born on June 20, 1968 in Hamilton, NY, daughter of the late Squire Robert William and Barbara Jean Clark Chase. She attended Canastota schools and moved to Massena later in life. A marriage to Dennis “Bear” Mitchell ended in divorce, but their love had recently been rekindled.

She was a member of the Upstate Independent Drum and Bugle Corps Colorguard. Pamela was a home health caregiver for the Massena Independent Living Center, and a deli-worker for Price Chopper and Deli on a Roll.

Pamela was a huge NY Yankees fan, and enjoyed swimming, fishing, gardening, cooking and bowling. She was a lover of nature and animals, rescuing several, and was passionate about taking care of families in need. Love, faith and music were important to her, but her sister’s children were her most precious love.

Pamela is survived by her stepson, Dennis Mitchell, Jr.; five grandchildren, Danyon, Trayen, Dennis III, Krimson, and Malachi; her sister Donna Chase-Maxfield of Oneida; her four beloved nieces, September Chase, Makayla Runice, Ciara Runice, and Arianna Runice; her chosen children, Maiesha, Tapeni Jr., Scarlett, and Leilani; her friends Lisa Charleston and Amy Banker; and many other close friends.

Besides her parents, Pamela was predeceased by her brother, Michael Douglas Chase.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Pamela’s memory to the Upstate Independent Drum and Bugle Corps c/o Morgan and Janelle Jenkins, Oneida, NY, or to a local animal shelter.

Arrangements are with the Donaldson Funeral Home where memories and condolences may be shared online at www.donaldsonfh.com.

I would like to extend our condolences to the family.May our Heavenly father put his arms around you and comfort you in this difficult time. (ISAIAH 41:10)
